hi, I have learned the uses of canonical tag recently. Now, my question is. suppoose i have one master page - Targeted webpage page - www.example.com/science/medical-science Another page (clone) - www.example.com/science/medical-science?//586?789 Now suppose these two are basically same webpages, i want all my visitor of link juice to be flown here - http://www.example.com/science/medical-science So shall i put the "canonical tag" in the source code of the "clone" page ?? like - <link rel"canonical" href="www.example.com/science/medical-science"> Do i need to put any canonical tag here as well - www.example.com/science/medical-science ??? Please provide the solution as soon as possible. Thanks in advance
"Canonical" goes in <head> section of the non-canonical page(like your css codes) like this: <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/science/medical-science?//586?789"/> You have to put this on the targeted page, not on the clone.
Are you sure there are some people telling me that the code should be implemented on the clone page, to show it as a duplicate or similar to that as targeted one. Like in the head section of - http://www.example.com/science/medical-science?//586?78 , i should need to put the following code : - <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/science/medical-science /"> Even some people say that the code can be implemented on the target page as well......that's really a confusing situation. Dealeris, could you please clear the doubts.
